Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Love Canal

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.4/10.

The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.8/10.

Against the Niagara County average of 6.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

On the national scale it lands near the 86th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 5.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $58,157, annual rent is just 17%.

Average gross rent is $804, close to the Niagara Falls average. 27% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
